About Us

Deardorff Design Resources was founded in 1986 by Howard Deardorff with 25 years of experience in planning and urban design. DDR embraces projects ranging in settings and scale and creates unique solutions for each project responding to the needs of the environment and the users. Each project begins with an extensive site analysis, which examines the site's unique cultural and ecological characteristics. In addition, our client-centered approach encourages a participatory design process. This combination allows us to offer multiple design alternatives that meet the client's needs while enhancing the value of the site's natural attributes and existing facilities. DDR often assembles, leads, and participates in mulitdisciplinary teams to meet client needs.
